I'm currently on Humalog 3 x per day before meals..........

Has anybody ever changed from Humalog to Apidra and if so were there any noticeable changes?
 
Not done it myself, but I've seen people make the switch and they found Apidra 'faster in-faster out' in terms of activity.

So "faster in" - maybe done or may not be done so long before eating same as Humalog, "faster out" - would this mean less hypos / possibly having to take more before meal insulin / possibly having to take more basal insilin - also all depending on BS.
 😱
 
I tried apidra as I always had v high spikes after eating then hypos later, but tbh I did not notice much difference.
